We’ve found the ultimate wellness retreat to calm those pre-wedding jitters

It’s not about what you do, it’s where you go

Let’s face it. A bride needs a whole lot more than a casual couple of hours at a salon to feel completely stress-free before the big day. And there’s no better way to feel relaxed and rejuvenated than by checking-in to a beautiful mind and body retreat, and letting yourself be pampered by professionals. At Atmantan Wellness Centre, you have everything you need, right from yoga classes overlooking the gorgeous Mulshi lake, to holistic Ayurveda, Asian spa therapies and detox diet plans. The perfect ingredients to your pre-wedding detox schedule!

Conveniently nestled between Mumbai and Pune, Atmantan is just a short drive away and can easily be reached by car. In fact, some of Bollywood’s glam girls like Parineeti Chopra, Freida Pinto and Bhumi Pednekar have chosen to visit Atmantan to detox and get away from the city. Beautifully poised on a unique crystal hill that lends healing energies to its occupants, Atmantan is a refuge for anyone seeking a few moments of sanity away from the wedding chaos. With a choice of packages that range from well-being to weight-loss, master cleanses, holistic health and even Ayurveda Panchakarma, the newly launched bridal retreat has been curated to include the best of yoga, meditation, diet and spa therapies.

Rejuvenation for the soul

The minute you check in, the healing energies of this unique wellness getaway begin to have a calming effect on you. The bridal retreat even caters for a super soul detox which includes a series of Pranic healing sessions combined with Pranayama, and other private therapies to eliminate any pent-up stress, may it be from previous relationships or blocked energies. Hot stone therapy and hammams are other exclusive therapies here that help with penetrative relaxation and rejuvenation.

Relaxation for the mind

“Relaxing the body is only half the battle won. You can use the best of skincare and makeup, but if your mind is stressed, it will always reflect on you in one way or another,” says Sharmilee Agarwal Kapur, co-founder of Atmantan. “We all know that the mind and skin are intimately intertwined — often dullness, hair loss etc have their roots in stress and can even vanish when timely corrective measures towards an atma-mana-tann balance are taken. We do this best here at Atmantan.”

Detox for the body

Along with the physical and mental detox that your body is put through, you will also follow a diet here which is rich in antioxidants and devoid of refined flour, dairy and sugar. “With our farm-to-table fresh organic menu, we have seen visible inch loss, and texture and tone difference in the faces, besides the increased energy level. It all works in tandem with our unique treatments like the Chi Nei Tsang, a Taoist abdominal massage that targets emotional healing through gut health. This is all the need of the hour with the bride becoming the centre of attention soon,” says Kapur.

Wellness for the atma (soul), mana (mind) and tann (body) as you prepare for the future

The Atmantan experience extends beyond just your five to ten days there. The bride-to-be is trained to master certain yogic kriyas and basic meditation so that she can step into her new life with a calm mind. At this crystalline wellness valley, even if you walk in with the pre-wedding jitters, you will walk out with a glowing complexion and a mind that’s calm and ready for the madness that the wedding bells will bring.

At every wedding, no matter how pretty the décor is or how extravagant the flower arrangements are, all eyes move to the bride as she walks down the aisle. For every bride who wants to feel like magic on her special day, exude radiance from within and on the surface too, Atmantan Wellness Centre knows the secret of just how!
